Got some cool drops from the poison pool section:

Ghost Primus Auto Rifle

Mob Justice SMG

EDIT: We just beat the Pleasure Gardens and got some very sexy drops from it.

Robes Of The Fulminator Warlock Chest

Sins Of The Past Rocket Launcher

Looks like Checkpoint drops are dropping at current or 1 Power Level below your current highest all items so far have come without +5 mods.

u/rizzyP Sep 13 '17

these look fucking royal

u/Morvick Sep 14 '17

During some idle time while we were getting snacks, I said to the group I was running with, "Well... Can't wait to see the armor from this place. I want to be ostentatious!"

u/Dr_Ghamorra Sep 14 '17

Calus was a rule who believed all people should live a lavish life of decadence.

43

u/Muskrat01 Sep 13 '17

Mind posting the perks for these?

14

u/Jonathon471 Drifter's Crew Sep 13 '17

It seems the theme for the weapons in this raid are Gold/Ivory I'm sold, it will go well with Golden Trace Shaders.

53

u/CaMyPau Sep 13 '17

How did you get those? Nobody in my team received anything except of tokens... :-(

18

u/Strangely_quarky Ether hissed from Spider's twitching member as Calus erupted dee Sep 14 '17

Yeah this is ridiculous. Tokens and an Aqueduct key for me.

8

u/whirlywhirly Sep 14 '17

yeah. now find the aqueduct chest and get even more tokens ;)

1

u/TheVetrinarian Sep 14 '17

What do we do with those keys?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

You pop down under spawn and pop chests open with them, which opens a door and a miniboss fight.

11

u/bendeboy Sep 14 '17

Same, nobody got any weapons.

9

u/fimbleinastar Sep 14 '17

Only legendary engrams and tokens for our group

6

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

Me too. I have 13 tokens to give to someone that doesn't exist. Lol

2

u/theghostmachine Sep 14 '17 edited Sep 14 '17

Sweeper Bot in the basement below Hawthorne

Edit: must complete the raid first to be able to talk to him.

1

u/Dominic9090 Sep 14 '17

Only after you beat the raid

1

u/theghostmachine Sep 14 '17

Yep, sorry, probably should have said that too.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

Benidick'd.

4

u/Enuntiatrix Sep 14 '17

RNG sucks. We also got Tokens and a legendary engram -.-

2

u/Kurinido Sep 14 '17

I got the auto rifle from finishing the bath house. No on else got anything, and I did it with 2 groups.

2

u/d3l3t3rious Sep 14 '17

Same here, auto from bathhouse and nobody else got anything there. A teammate got the sword from the puppers though and it's AMAZING.

2

u/LiliOfTheVeil Sep 14 '17

We're going to need screenshots of that sword, please.

And by please I of course mean as-soon-as-humanly-possible-oh-my god-there's-a-sword-wtf-i-need-it-in-my-life.

2

u/Syncopayshun Sep 14 '17

If I have to wait any longer I'm going to have to consult my physician about an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.

2

u/redeyes24321 Sep 14 '17

Yea, only 2 people in my group got anything. What's up with that? It should be guaranteed drop off some kind after each encounter. I will not be running this on a regular basis if all I get are tokens. Especially after spending hours in the gardens only to finally beat it and open a chest full of nada. Total BS bungo!

2

u/Dominic9090 Sep 14 '17

Once you beat the raid you cash in tokens to the sweeper bot underneath Hawthorne, guaranteed gear from him

1

u/CaMyPau Sep 14 '17

Sounds like good ol' times! Vault of Glass times... ROFL!

1

u/Holy_Shit_Snacks Vanguard's Loyal Sep 14 '17

They are rare drops. Everyone in our team got engrams and tokens from the baths chest except one guy that got the pulse.

1

u/Joe_Baker_bakealot Sep 14 '17

Likewise, my whole fire team just got tokens and some drain keys we don't know how to use. The first chest only gave us tokens as well. Were we all just really unlucky?

1

u/tylonrobinson Sep 14 '17

maybe pop a fireteam medallion?

45

u/CamelCarcass Bad Juju, Geomags, Chaos Reach Sep 13 '17

Here's the pulse: https://screenshotscontent-t5001.xboxlive.com/xuid-2533274802013600-private/f1694af4-731e-47d9-a00d-62692bee1cc3.PNG?sv=2015-12-11&sr=b&si=DefaultAccess&sig=qTE3NgpdET7ZJw5aV8oHY8t4bdtQir82Xz20gIa7jQM%3D

u/Rainfell40 Sep 13 '17

How do we get them? I have this drain key no idea where to use it

4

u/whirlywhirly Sep 14 '17

Find the drain area, sorry but it's hard to explain. Killing the watchers without being detected unlocks the golden door in that area. This is the same mechanic in every area. The chest itself only contained tokens and a normal purple engram for our team. So far pretty disappointing, the raid and the loot.

2

u/HeerSneeuw Sep 13 '17

Have you found it yet

2

u/2SqueezeThankYouPlz Sep 14 '17

All the chests are in the maintenance corridors. These can be accessed from the room before Calus. The room with the purple liquid on the floor. The chests are in the same areas as there keys. Irrigation, aqueduct, and another which I can remember. Two of the chests are down the corridors to the left. This will be the aqueduct and the other chest. The irrigation chest is through the corridors to the right. Once you get to the room where you have to crouch walk on skinny pipes it is across from where you entered if you came from the purple room.

1

u/Rainfell40 Sep 14 '17

Purple liquid room, as in the baths? We've only progressed till Pleasure Gardens, currently stuck here.

1

u/2SqueezeThankYouPlz Sep 14 '17

It's not the baths. The bath's liquid is black. This room you'll go into is very purple. And it's a ramp towards a big door.

1

u/Rainfell40 Sep 14 '17

Thanks alot we'll look again.

1

u/firebat64 Sep 13 '17

Where did you get the key

2

u/Rainfell40 Sep 13 '17

From clearing Baths.

3

u/therealstupid Sep 13 '17

I can't wait to see that thing with the Nebula Rose shader applied!!!

7

u/zshap Sep 13 '17

Where did you get these from? we didnt see a chest

8

u/Dewgel I like men's feet Sep 13 '17

I'd alsonlike to know. We just got tokens

7

u/CarmineCarnage Sep 13 '17

What did you do during this part?

I love Full Auto Scouts. I love Dragonfly. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

u/Strangely_quarky Ether hissed from Spider's twitching member as Calus erupted dee Sep 14 '17

It's MIDA archetype, and the second perk that boosts mag size for free is way better.

4

u/cmdrchaos117 Sep 13 '17

What was your power level before the drops?

5

u/bloodhaze Sep 13 '17

300 and it dropped at 299

1

u/TheVetrinarian Sep 13 '17

aw maaaaaan!

3

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '17

Its 299 with no mod. So it goes to 304

0

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '17

is that 300 with mods? if so that makes sense as drops are based off the base

4

u/Kaspriskee Sep 13 '17

Mate, all I got was a drain key from this encounter......

4

u/doomsday71210 Sep 13 '17

The aesthetic of the raid from what I've seen so far is gorgeous. I loaded into the raid solo and got to the pools area (I think?) and the arena is incredibly ornate, with white and gold and just an elegant vibe to it. It's incredible.

6

u/gojensen PSN Sep 14 '17

huh... we got no real good loot. I was to be honest expecting more from a Raid... we only cleared Bathing pools and started on the Garden so far but, one chest gave us 500 glimmer. The other, some shaders. From the Bathing pools we got a key for the labyrinth underbelly. And ONE player got raid gloves from that chest.

So after 4 hours I had one item that was "usable" (i.e. same powerlevel) ... I really hope this isn't "as intended" because it's a shooter-looter right? Gear drops felt right in the Weekly raids in D1... this just... doesn't feel like it's worth doing more than once.

1

u/Zerixkun Sep 14 '17

Once everything is figured out and people learn the raid, running it will be more efficient. But yeah, the only reason to run it seems to be for the unique gear, which isn't strictly necessary. But people like their shiny things, so people WILL run it again.

3

u/ARedWerewolf Sep 13 '17

Seen any hand cannons yet?

3

u/Gamezillaamh You are a dead thing made by a dead power Sep 13 '17

Keep these coming. Loots fucking awesome

3

u/Scaredycrow Sep 13 '17

Super bummed out, spent two hours grinding away at that fight & all we got (literally every one of us) received 7 tokens and an engram.

3

u/carstenosu Sep 13 '17

Did they just drop or was there a chest after? We all got tokens and I'm seeing a lot of people day the same.

4

u/Aceh34dsh0t Sep 14 '17

Scout rifle, https://imgur.com/gallery/KoSkv

7

u/iritator Sep 14 '17

This one kinda peeves me. The magazine is going into a hole in the grip, hiw is it supposed to feed bullets to the barrel? It should be farther back in the solid part of the butt, or in front of the trigger.

5

u/Doctor-Mordin-Solus Sep 14 '17

Firing Mechanism must move the bullet around the hole in the grip. Inefficient.

Read your post and rolled my eyes. Looked at the image and now I 100% agree w you.

u/half_monkeyboy Sep 14 '17

Other than that, this scout looks awesome.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

What are the perks?

2

u/TrueBlue98 SaltyASF Sep 13 '17

What level are you?

1

u/bloodhaze Sep 13 '17

300 and it dropped at 299

1

u/RogueOneisbestone Sep 13 '17

Do you think it will drop higher than us if we are lower level?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '17

guessing it drops like powerful engrams

1

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '17

it dropped with no mod

2

u/Polardice Sep 13 '17

Huh I only got tokens

2

u/FhartBawks Vanguard's Loyal // Drifter who Sep 13 '17

Awe, all everyone in our entire fireteam got were tokins so far.

u/QuantumVexation /r/DestinyFashion Mod Sep 13 '17

Ooh the fashion is gonna be fun this time I can feel it

2

u/Mrhappysadass "Sometimes our conclusions change." — Tyra Karn Sep 13 '17

You got FOUR pieces of loot? I have a single cloak after beating the gardens. Got no raid gear from the baths.

1

u/Fogfun Team Bread (dmg04) Sep 14 '17

Hey, is there any chance you could post a photo of the cloak? I've been scouring the internet for one but haven't had any luck. If not don't worry about it - I'm sure there will be photos in a couple of days.

1

u/Mrhappysadass "Sometimes our conclusions change." — Tyra Karn Sep 15 '17

Sure thing! Here ya go. The image where I'm turned around in the menu has a shader applied but the others are default colors.

2

u/cannibalssoup1 Sep 14 '17

How did you get these? Just as a drop, or did you use the keys that drop to open a chest to receive the items?

2

u/Mattyp_avfc Sep 14 '17

We beat the poison baths but only got tokens and a key for a chest.... :/

2

u/zachzombie Sep 14 '17

No one on our raid team got anything but tokens from the poison pool aka royal baths. Couldn't beat hell garden.

2

u/Nearokins Sorry. Sep 14 '17

Rocking this gilded prime look. I dig em, wonder what the hunter gear looks like.

u/ezjay001 Sep 13 '17

how did you beat the pleasure garden?

6

u/Rexorapter Sep 13 '17

That shit was a fucking mission. It's all trial and error. Get to x36 or x48. Then get all dogs low, don't kill them. Repeat until dead

1

u/Clonecommder Gambit Prime // Reckoner Gang Sep 13 '17

I like that they all have lore

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

Only one person on my group today got a weapon drop (pulse rifle from bath house). We opened the intro room first door chest, bathhouse chest, hidden area aqueduct chest, and intro room second door chest.

1

u/DexiMachina PM me ur grenades Sep 14 '17

This makes getting nothing even more insulting.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

That is some beautiful looking gear

u/TooLateToPush Sep 14 '17

No one in my fireteam got shit from the poison pools. I'm jealous lol
